Great concept, fierce fights… Althgout some logic took a permanent vacation.
A High‑School Action-Drama That Kicks Hard—but Sometimes Stops to Explain Algebra
✨ THE GOOD:
Diamond-level premise – Mercenary-in-training meets academic grind. Students fighting for grades? Genius twist on high school drama.
Hwang Min‑hyun as Ga‑min – Awkward nerd turned reluctant brawler who still cares about college scores. Vulnerable, powerful—anti-hero perfection.
Cinematic action for days – Fight scenes crisp and epic enough to rival Weak Hero or The Glory. Nunchaku + textbooks = a vibe.
Tight ensemble energy – The Study Group feels like an unbreakable squad. Quirks, loyalty, humor—this crew is the emotional core.
🧠 THE “WHAT’S WITH THIS PLOT?” MOMENTS:
Plot logic takes coffee breaks... often. Villains roll in like YouTube ads, then vanish when you’re not looking.
Underused side characters—some got zero character arcs; screen time wasted.
Occasional tonal jagging—shifts from comedy to gore with no seatbelt announcement.
😂 FAN REACTIONS (because Reddit never lies):
“Every episode is good… it’s funny, crazy, and great acting”
“It feels like a webtoon or manga… brilliant execution”
🎯 THE “WHY IT STILL WORKS” FACTOR:
Zero filler—every minute counts in this 10‑episode sprint.
Action-comedy balance: funny one second, hyped the next. Fans saw it as “instant hype” therapy.
Song “Backpacker” OST is earworm-level addictive. Watch it just for that soundtrack.
⚖️ VERDICT:
“Like ordering ramen with extra fire—you chew every scene, you burn on the edge, but damn if it doesn’t slap.”
Watch if: You want adrenaline-school drama, friendship, clean action, and don’t mind skipping some brain cells.
Skip if: You hate bad guys who disappear mid-episode or school dramas where algebra comes with a punch.
Best paired with: 🎧 “Backpacker” on loop, fight playlist, and zero expectations for logic continuity.
